> but as a Muslim, this is the best place to live. Muslims want the Sharia law and all the other Islamic stuffs including hijab, prayers and what not.

Very insightful, surprised to hear people like it there, I'm glad.

I think the problem with Sharia law and such is when people come from say Saudi Arabia or similar middle eastern countries and expect to bring their backwards ass laws with them to EU countries.

I concur. The vast majority of people have the exact opposite problem and sleep too little, therefore the general advice would be to get at least 8h of quality sleep per night.

It threw me off the whole article as well, it's hard to take it seriously when it hits me with "don't sleep too much" in the beginning, especially since I've always been somewhat of an insomniac and I'm intimately familiar with the impact of sleep deprivation across all aspects of one's life.

Are they still mentioning their location based pay scheme or have they swept it under the rug completely?

Since .ru hosts a LOT of malware that's running wild, and I don't particularly care to view anything on .ru, we'll just agree to disagree.

Good arguments btw.

Since it's Russian owned, a lot of malicious actors have found .ru to be a safe heaven, this is more of a security thing than anything.

FYI Mesos is dead.

FFmpeg is one of those tools that we desperately need a new alternative to.

After almost 20 years of Linux I couldn't type a correct FFmpeg command with a gun to my head.

I used to be obsessed with DRY. After having written tens of thousands of terraform lines in the last few years across a multitude of platforms and use cases, I say everything in moderation.

Going DRY is a decision you pay for in complexity, it's the typical programming problem of genericity. Sometimes it absolutely makes sense and you're a mad man if you skip it, but in isolated cases making things DRY just for the sake of it is just as nuts as not doing it when required.

It's a fine line to walk and it requires hands-on experience to know when to employ DRY and when to repeat yourself.

$6? more like $60 coming to a scalper near you.

Avoid a paywall only to be forced to complete a captcha in 4 (FOUR!) tries until successful.

Sigh..I hate the internet these days.

I fail to see the need for a remote-desktop type experience in this day and age. Why not just go zero trust?

For anyone interested in topics like this, I have a couple of books recommendations:

A classic: Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Dimond (1997)

A more modern take: The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow (2021)

Isn't it funny how just a few years ago the eternal HN discussion regarding remote working always took place in the same way: about half of commenters for, and half against.

The typical arguments of social interaction, in person brainstorming and so on, vs free time, no commute, can work from anywhere, "zoom is just as good" always went round in circles.

Now I see those in the mainstream and HN seems to have cross over almost completely to the WFH side.

I wonder how "converted" HN-ers got where they are. If you're here and changed your mind regarding remote work since the pandemic started, I'd like to hear why; what, other than the obvious pathogen, has caused your change of heart?

Wearing a mask in a supermarket does not "stop the world economy". Americans are borderline insane with the mask mandate

> I would suspect that most people who are were already vulnerable have already passed or built immunity if the virus is equally dangerous, resulting in a lower than equal death rate despite equivalent risk.

You are forgetting about the most vulnerable group of all: immunosuppressed people.

They cannot mount a sufficient immune response, in severe immunosuppression like after a transplant event months or years after. In some cases the covid mortality for these people can approach 40% for young adults.

We have to be mindful of people like this when thinking about dropping mask mandates and such. Or "whoever's not vaccinated dies of their own fault". Not 100% true.

We as a society must protect those most vulnerable.

Yes. Or business registration.

I suppose it all falls down to OS preference more than anything. I've been using macOS for a long time and wouldn't feel comfortable with something else.

Owning an iPhone and iPad don't help escaping the walled garden for sure.

I own an M1 MBA with 16GB of RAM and it's a lovely little machine. I generally do SRE work and it works out ok for that for the most part. Intellij Idea, VS Code, a terminal and a browser.

Coming from an i9 16" mbp the difference in usability is massive, I hated those fans so much. I do miss the larger screen size though; that, coupled with the lack of ports (just 2 Type-C, would like more) made me consider getting one of the new 14". The battery life is so insanely overkill in this laptop that I'd be willing to compromise on it for a bigger display, perhaps for the first time ever.

Would highly, highly recommend it for traveling though.

Thank you. Docs are good, I'm already up and running :)

Tried that, what I really like about Cloudflare is that it offers me more freedom than Github which basically forces you to use Jekyll if I'm not mistaken.

Netlify?

I'm in a similar position as I want to stand up a blog and just want something simple that works OOTB. I'm an infra guy and don't want to write Javascript.

Honorable mention for Cue[0].

If I just wanted to deploy a blog from github to Cloudflare pages, what would be the best way of doing that without writing javascript? Is there a way currently?

>irregardless

That's not a word, ironically enough.

>Autoimmune reactions should happen in the short run, right?

I believe Pandermix took 6 months for narcolepsy to develop.

> EDIT: The mRNA vaccines are obviously not therapeutic antibodies, but they probably checked for cross-reactivity of the engineered spike protein as well as the generated antibodies using similar methods. I’m not 100% sure, though.

There is a study[0] showing cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and other human tissues, thus predisposing the host to autoimmune diseases. This should apply even more so to any vaccine since vaccines produce a more robust immune response.

Phase 2/3 of Pfizer-BioNTech did, however, include people with autoimmune diseases [1]. Other vaccine trials did not, as far as I am aware. This does not really shine a light on pre-disposition to an autoimmune disease 6-9-12 mo down the road.

Reading this comment again before I post made me realize it sounds very gloomy, so I feel obliged to say I'll be getting whatever vaccine I can get my hands on at the soonest possible date.

Same NUC, got two of them with 64GB of memory each, a 250GB 970 Evo NVMe, and and a TB3 10GBaseT adapter. Absolutely wonderful experience! I run ESXi 7.

It may depend on your AD admins, to be fair. But still, it should be heavily discouraged, if not impossible.
